    1987 P Doubled-Ear

    Hey all... So I finally have a little time to start sifting through some of the cents I've set aside from the past couple boxes and one of the first pulls was this possible 1987 doubled-ear. I couldn't find much information detailing this variety. Other than a single article in Coin World regarding the first 87 and 88 doubled-ear finds and Wexler's listing as 1987 1¢ WDDO-004, I couldn't find much at all. Below I've pasted a link to that article below.. I would love to get your opinions!

    Sorry. I think you have a normal ear there.

      I don't see any doubling on this one, sorry. Wasn't the 1987 doubled ear debunked anyways? Or was that a different one?

        I do remember that on Billy's 1987, the doubling was on the back of the ear,down low. I see something on yours,but there is too much glare to determine much.

          The '87 WDDO-004 may not even be a doubled die. And sorry, as noted, the coin shown does not seem to tbe the same as the one Wexler notes in the article

            I agree with Jason as far as the 1987 goes. I do not believe it to be a doubled die either. I do not believe this coin to be anything out of the ordinary either.

              Here's a better representation of what's going on with a little less glare for posterity's sake... I have been looking at this ear for about 5 hours now so my objectivity is def floundering, but I could swear that I see two ears... Thanks guys!

                That's a better picture, and I think I can see what you are talking about. In order to be absolutely sure, I would be willing to do an in-hand exam for you free of charge if you wish.

                  Crawford's coin (the '87) with slight doubling on the ear was indeed debunked.

                    That would be amazing! Just let me know where to ship and how you like your coins to be packed / received and I'll send it along.
